Ceiling Light Cover for my Kitchen

Looks good to me!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

This is an excellent project. With that much oak in it the cover has to be heavy.

What type of finish did you put on it?

You may want to consider putting up more pictures on your next project showcasing it from different angles. Go ahead and use all three slots if you want.

This is a nice project. Thanks for sharing.

Nice project.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

I think that you are on the right path Napaman. Looks almost exactly like the one I bought from HD several years ago :-)). If I’m wrong, I’m sorry – but I think he’s pulling our legs.

nice job. how is it mounted to the ceiling?

-- making sawdust....

There is a white painted 2” x 2” lagged to the ceiling joists with “L” brackets under the lag heads. This just fits inside of the one-by sides. Then screws were placed through the “L” brackets into the oak sides. It has a screw every 16” for support. The lattuce and plastic sheets can be removed to replace the lights. ... NORM LOL

P.S. HD never sold anything made of solid oak like this. The Chineese wouldn’t know what to do with solid oak.

Karson – I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed with you before, but if it’s 9×5, I don’t think it would fit in the lighting department at the BORG!

unknownNorm – this is a nice project, and huge! Very nice for one of your first projects! I’m curious, though – are you sure it’s oak? The wood around the window is oak, but the light cover looks like maple to me.

It’s all oak and there is no maple.

I’m sorry guys, I meant this is my first project posted on LumberJocks. I’ve been working with wood all my life.

ahhhh….another clue: ”...I have been working with wood all my life…”

I now read each of your comments in a northeastern ACCENT…

Wine country man, keep those guesses coming. Just because we pronounce “drawer” differently, doesn’t make you right.
